Child Care Scholarship Program - Priority for Child Care Providers

HB 910 requires Maryland's State Department of Education to create a priority system for the Child Care Scholarship Program, specifically favoring children of individuals who work in licensed child care centers, registered family child care homes, or registered large family child care homes. This change applies to scholarship applications submitted after July 1, 2026, directly affecting child care providers and their children seeking financial aid for early childhood education. The bill amends existing law to establish this priority framework within the scholarship program's administration. It does not alter eligibility criteria for other families but adds a new ranking consideration for child care providers' children.
